1. Change 0.015 to a fraction.

• A. 3/200
• B. 3/2000
• C. 15/1000
• D. 3/100

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

2. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.

3. Solve for x: x/5 = 3/10.

• A. x = 0.6
• B. x = 0.6
• C. x = 0.9
• D. x = 1.5

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To solve for x when x/5 = 3/10, you need to cross-multiply. This gives you 10x = 5 × 3. Simplifying further, you get x = 15/10, which reduces to x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.5. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation for x.

4. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

• A. 10 pounds
• B. 8 pounds
• C. 5 pounds
• D. 12 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

5. How many ounces are in 8 1/4 pints?

• A. 128 oz
• B. 132 oz
• C. 136 oz
• D. 140 oz

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pints to ounces, multiply by 16 because 1 pint equals 16 ounces. Therefore, 8 1/4 pints is equal to 8.25 x 16 = 132 ounces. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from pints to ounces.
